Description
WELL PIPE HAULING ~ETHOD & APPARATUS
This invention relates to a well apparatus, more particularly it relates to a portable appara-tus adapted to pull well pipe upwardly from within a well.
In wells including submersible pumps for pumpin~ water up through long plastic tubing in a well, removal is difficult as this procedure has been done by hand which is labour intensive and time consuming. Other methods and apparatuses have been employed to achieve this result, e.g. a tower crane. This, however, is a costly proposition. Various other attempts to eliminate the difficulty of hauling the pump and hose have been made in the art such as that disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
4,655,291. In this document, Cox cLiscloses an apparatus for running pipe into or out of a well. The apparatus includes a dual roller system with a complicated network of springs, gears, chains, etc. The apparatus of this invention, since it includes numerous moving parts is susceptible to wear etc., which limits its usefulness.
In Canadian Patent No. 695,744, there is disclosed an apparatus for working over wells which includes a spool to retain well pipe which may be fed into or removed from a well via-a first wheel which cooperates with a series of smaller wheels. The wheels move the pipe by compressive force i.e.
pinching which, over longer periods of time, can lead to premature pipe wear or damage.
Canadian Patent No. 890,228, discloses an apparatus for pulling and running a pipe or the like into and out of a well.
The apparatus of this invention is particularly limited in that it employs a vehicle equipped with a well tower to achieve its purpose which additionally uses the compressive concept to move the well pipe.
Other Patent documents related to the field of this invention include Canadian Patent Nos. 860,708; 953,644; and 1,220,418.

Having thus generally described the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings illustrating preferred embodiments and, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a side view of the apparatus of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of yet another embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 5 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention generally indicated by numeral 10.
The apparatus 10 includes a collar member 12 preferably comprising a pair of hemispherical sleeves 14 hingedly connected at hinges 16. On an opposed side of the 9 - - hemispherical sleeves 14 there is an outwardly projecting member 18 associated with each sleeve 14. The projections 18 each include a plurality of spaced apart apertures 20 therethrough which register in alignment when the sleeves 14 are in a closed i.e. facing relation (Figure 1). The collar 12 may be thus releasably engaged to a well casing (not shown) by tightening suitable fastening means, for example, wing nuts 22 within the apertures 20. Although hemispherically and hingedly connected sleeves 14 have been described for the collar 12, any arrangement of components which provide releasable and frictional contact by compressive force about a well casing is contemplated. In one variation, for example, 2C~ 33~3 the sleeves 14 may be independent and each include conventionallclamps etc. Intermediate of the hinges 16 and projections 20 on the outside of each sleeve 14, there is included an elongated upwardly pro~ecting support member 24.
Each of the support members 24 include opposed ends 26, 28 and are preferably manufactured of a suitably rigid and substantially inflexible material e.g. aluminium, steel, etc.
A portion of the supports 24, proximate the lower opposed ends 26 thereof, are preferably associated with the collar 12, i.e.
one on each sleeve, either by permanent means e.g. welding or by temporary means e.g. nuts and bolts, slots on each sleeve to receive the lower portion of a support etc. The choice of the means employed to associate the supports to the sleeves will not adversely impede the functioning of the apparatus.
Proximate the opposed end 28 of each support 24 there is included a U~shaped guide and support member 30 which cooperates with the apertures 32 extending through the supports 24 proximate the ends 28 thereof. The apertures 32 and guide members 30 receive and support axle 34 of the hauling means, which is pendicularly mounted therein. The axle 34 of the hauling means 36 is preferably freely rotatable within the apertures 32 of the supports by incorporating bearing means e.g. ball, precision etc. therein. The axle 34 extends slightly beyond and outwardly from at least one of the supports 24 and includes a coupling member 38 to couple the axle 34 with the actuation means 40.
The actuation means 40, as shown in one form, includes a gear box 42 releasably and slidably mounted on a supporting plate 44, which is fixedly secured proximate the end 28 of support 24. The gear box 42 preferably includes an opening 46 which facilitates communication between the gear box 42 and drive means, e.g. a hand drill 48, via a suitable gear turning member 50. In the case where a cordless hand drill is employed as the drive means, the gear turning member 50 may be inserted into the chuck 52 of the drill and subsequently into
surrounding a well, the mounting means may include coupling means to join support extensions of the mounting means.
Having thus generally described the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings illustrating preferred embodiments and, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a side view of the apparatus of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of yet another embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 5 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention generally indicated by numeral 10.
The apparatus 10 includes a collar member 12 preferably comprising a pair of hemispherical sleeves 14 hingedly connected at hinges 16. On an opposed side of the 9 - - hemispherical sleeves 14 there is an outwardly projecting member 18 associated with each sleeve 14. The projections 18 each include a plurality of spaced apart apertures 20 therethrough which register in alignment when the sleeves 14 are in a closed i.e. facing relation (Figure 1). The collar 12 may be thus releasably engaged to a well casing (not shown) by tightening suitable fastening means, for example, wing nuts 22 within the apertures 20. Although hemispherically and hingedly connected sleeves 14 have been described for the collar 12, any arrangement of components which provide releasable and frictional contact by compressive force about a well casing is contemplated. In one variation, for example, 2C~ 33~3 the sleeves 14 may be independent and each include conventionallclamps etc. Intermediate of the hinges 16 and projections 20 on the outside of each sleeve 14, there is included an elongated upwardly pro~ecting support member 24.
Each of the support members 24 include opposed ends 26, 28 and are preferably manufactured of a suitably rigid and substantially inflexible material e.g. aluminium, steel, etc.
A portion of the supports 24, proximate the lower opposed ends 26 thereof, are preferably associated with the collar 12, i.e.
one on each sleeve, either by permanent means e.g. welding or by temporary means e.g. nuts and bolts, slots on each sleeve to receive the lower portion of a support etc. The choice of the means employed to associate the supports to the sleeves will not adversely impede the functioning of the apparatus.
Proximate the opposed end 28 of each support 24 there is included a U~shaped guide and support member 30 which cooperates with the apertures 32 extending through the supports 24 proximate the ends 28 thereof. The apertures 32 and guide members 30 receive and support axle 34 of the hauling means, which is pendicularly mounted therein. The axle 34 of the hauling means 36 is preferably freely rotatable within the apertures 32 of the supports by incorporating bearing means e.g. ball, precision etc. therein. The axle 34 extends slightly beyond and outwardly from at least one of the supports 24 and includes a coupling member 38 to couple the axle 34 with the actuation means 40.
The actuation means 40, as shown in one form, includes a gear box 42 releasably and slidably mounted on a supporting plate 44, which is fixedly secured proximate the end 28 of support 24. The gear box 42 preferably includes an opening 46 which facilitates communication between the gear box 42 and drive means, e.g. a hand drill 48, via a suitable gear turning member 50. In the case where a cordless hand drill is employed as the drive means, the gear turning member 50 may be inserted into the chuck 52 of the drill and subsequently into
3~
the opening 46 of the gear box 42. It is preferred that at least one support member 24 include means 54 to releasably hold the drive means 48 while in use. The holding means 54 can comprise, for example, a slot to hold a handle 56 of the drill 48 or, in other forms, a bracket, clamp, etc.
Considering the hauling means 36, it is particularly preferred that the hauling means 36 comprises a pair of rigid rotatable discs 58 and 60 which are hemispherical in cross-section and in juxtaposed relation at the convex surfacesthereof. In such an arrangement, the discs 58 and 60 form an inwardly tapering surface adapted to receive a well pipe 62 therein; this is more clearly illustrated in Figure 2. The inwardly tapering surface formed between the discs 58 and 60 frictionally engages the well pipe 62 to enable hauling of pipe from a great depth within the well 64. To further enhance the grip of the discs 58 and 60, each may include a textured inner surface.
In another embodiment, such as that shown in Figure 3, the support 24 may be placed firmly in the ground as an alternative to using the collar member shown in Figure 1.
This arrangement is particularly useful for wells which are flush i.e. contiguous with the ground level. In addition, the drive means 48 of Figure 1 may be easily replaced with other drive means, for example, a conventional motor, which could be held in place by a bracket 60 secured to support 24.
In yet another embodiment as illustrated in Figure 4, the apparatus may include free standing supports 24 to position the apparatus 10 over a well.
In a further embodiment as shown in Figure 5, the apparatus may be easily adapted for situations where the well is recessed from the surface of the ground, i.e. within an excavated pitc In such an application, the length of supports 24 may be augmented by ancillary support extensions 25 of ~(;~J`'~i,35~
sufficient length to facilitate convenient access to the apparatus.
Additionally, the ancillary supports 25 will preferably be coupled to supports 24 by coupling means 27 e.g. sleeves which are preferably slightly larger in cross-sectional area than that of the supports 24, 25 in order to receive the same therein. The coupling means 27 may be angled to further provide convenient access to the apparatus for a user.
It will be understood that the ancillary supports 25 and coupling means 27 may be fabricated in a variety of lengths and at a variety of angles, respectively.
As those skilled in the art will realize, these preferred illustrated details can be subjected to substantial variation, without affecting the function of the illustrated embodiments.
Thus, although embodiments of the invention have been described above, it is not limited thereto and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous modifications form part of the present invention insofar as they do no-t depart from the spirit, nature and scope of the claimed and described invention.
